known for his pace, stamina, and crossing ability, as well as his ability to assist his team both offensively and defensively, which allowed him to cover the right flank effectively. Passport controversy In 2002, he was exposed as holding a fake passport which claimed he was named Eriberto Conceição da Silva, born in Rio de Janeiro on 21 January 1979. For this he was handed a six-month ban and a $145,000 fine. He assumed the identity of someone who was then his neighbor in order to join the Palmeiras youth team, as he was too old. He revealed the deception so that he could give his son his true surname.
